Hmm. I thought I had mentioned this in the documentation. Well, it's in there
now (for the next release).
Anyway, here's what it says:
===========================
Multi-value Form Fields
If a field on your form can have more than one value, for example a group of
CHECKBOXes or a SELECT with the MULTIPLE attribute, PHP will return only the
last value unless you indicate to it that it's an array. Do this by adding []
to the end of the name. For example:
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="Color[]" VALUE="red">
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="Color[]" VALUE="blue">
<SELECT NAME="Type" MULTIPLE SIZE=5>
Of course, this then leaves you with the problem that the variable
substitution for those fields will just return "Array". Use the built-in
function ArrayToList to convert it to a plain character string. See the
documentation Formatting Your Data section for details.
===========================
Of course, the ArrayToList function isn't built in yet, you have to download
the FormatLib plugin from http://www.phorm.com/plugins.php3 and install it.
Oh, and depending on your browser's font, the [ and ] up there may look like a
single character [], but they're not.
